EBU00570Cable inspection and lubricationwInspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the outer
covering of control cables becomes dam-
aged. Cables can also become frayed or
kinked. Operation of controls could be
restricted, which could cause an accident or
injury.Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends. If
the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace them.

EBU00526B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive procedu-
res to guard against deterioration. After tho-
roughly cleaning the machine, prepare for stora-
ge as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add fuel
stabilizer (if available).NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha dealer
if the fuel system is to be drained instead.2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor
oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and
turn the engine over several times to coat
the cylinder wall with oil.
